  That's what really gets me about these jw's. Oh yes of course I do these things for love of God and neighbour. Sister blah blah is now being interviewd at this years circuit assembly. "Sister blah blah, why do you pioneer, oh brother blah blah ( same last name ) of course it's because I love Jehovah and my neighbour. That's such a nice cozy answer sister blah blah."

  "But wait this just in from Brooklyn, there is no everlasting life, I repeat there is no everlasting life" Assembly hall empties quicker than a bag of cookies near a fat boy.

  Why doesn't the WTS website have a discussion forum?

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  since the jws main mission in their miserable lives is to 'preach the good news of the kingdom', why is is that there is really no means to interact with the wts website?.

  certainly, many pioneers could be engaged in the activity of answering the many enquiries that would be directed through such an 'official' discussion board, and it would definitely be a means for the pioneers of accumulating many precious hours of witnessing to those 'hungering for the truth'.. surely the society couldn't believe that such a site would be inundated with doubting and disgruntled individuals with an 'axe to grind' with them.

  i am sure that there would be many members here who would have many sincere enquiries to make with the society, without wanting to disrupt, or harass.

  Imagine starting a thread " What if this isn't the truth"? A very legitamate question. But never in a billion years would that ever go through. The moderator would stop it while your typing " What if this isn't - BANG GONE.

  Actually sounds much like communism. How dare you question the state organization.

  You have found a congregation of spiritually enlightened people right here! Why go to meetings a mere 5 times a week, when you can receive knowledge and understanding right here, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! And we can show you much more about the Watchtower Society than most JW's can!

  And you can do it while drinking a nice cold one!! Now try to beat that.

  The locking of threads.

  it seems like there is a little fire starting to burn here on the subject of locking threads.

  iv been on this board a long time and on average have only seen about one out of every 200 threads locked.

  those who have their threads locked take it very personal, that's understandable.

  I think it is the terrific hold it has on us members. I never really thought that I was being so manipulated. And when I mention doubts to my friends, they get all scared and defensive, as if I am turning into a demon or something.

  I can't remember how I ever got to this stage - of being controlled so much. When did it happen? I can't really remember - it just sort of crept up on me. At first I thought it was all love and kindness and honesty - but all I see now is a vice-like grip that doesn't want to let go.

  Wow great post Terri, that is exactly the way I feel. Exactly.

  They were working for Jah and he doesnt tolerate slackers or broken promises of 90 hours.
